"It's my fault too. I only provided you with 50 drones last time. If you had a few more, you should have been able to train more drone pilots.
So, for the next three days, we'll have closed-door training. First, familiarize yourself with the drones, Shandong Cats, and various new weapons I brought with me. After three days, we'll show everyone how powerful we are."
"yes!"
Xu Tianxing frowned when he saw this:
"Xiao Lin, are you so sure you can defeat our Blue Army? The key is that you're a little too confident. Do you think you can defeat our enemy with a thousand men against two thousand?"
In this military exercise, Lin Sanqi formed the Red Army with the Yunnan Army as the base, and the Snowland Army formed the Blue Army. The key point was that the Red Army had one thousand soldiers against the Blue Army's two thousand.
This made Xu Tianxing a little unhappy, and he felt that Lin Sanqi looked down on him.
You have to know that the two thousand men of the Snow Region Army are veterans who have been tempered by thousands of battles. Which one of them is not a killer who has experienced hundreds of battles? One thousand against two thousand is a bit insulting to them.
Lin Sanqi chuckled and said, "Old Xu, just wait and see. I'm sure you'll be surprised."
Three days later, the exercise began.
The Yunnan Army, as the red side, occupied Mountain A.
The blue team, represented by the Snow Region Army, also occupied a nearby mountain called B.
The exercise director group, also known as the referee group, is composed of leaders from various military regions across the country, including Leader Jing, Commander Xu, Commander Cao, etc. The directorate is located in a mountain called C on the other side of the lake.
Each referee is in a high position, holding a telescope, and can observe the combat methods of the two troops from a comprehensive perspective, and finally decide the winner.
Leader Jing looked at Mountain A from afar and saw Lin Sanqi directing a group of soldiers to open boxes one by one, then take out strange machines and place them on the ground.
"Lao Cao, what Comrade Sanqi and the others are fiddling with are drones?"
Commander Cao introduced it like an experienced person:
"Yes, it's a drone. This thing can be used as a reconnaissance aircraft and a fighter jet. It's very powerful."
In everyone's mind, airplanes are big birds flying in the sky with their wings spread out, so big and fierce, dropping bombs.
But the small and medium-sized drones that Lin Sanqi took out looked like toys and had no murderous aura at all, which made people suspicious.
Leader Jing smiled and said, "Then we'll just have to wait and see."
Lin Sanqi prepared a total of 500 drones, 300 of which were for takeoff and 200 were in reserve, and 300 soldiers were assigned to operate them. If one crashed, they could just replace it with another one, so they didn't feel bad at all.
He himself was preparing to operate an eight-rotor drone as an early warning aircraft and fully command the drone operations.
There was no other way. In the 1960s, there were no satellites or navigation, so there was no way to implement drone swarm tactics. We could only operate one-on-one.
Behind the drone swarm, there is a row of 50 120mm caliber PBP172 mortar positions, which are prepared for long-range fire coverage, but they are not live ammunition.
At the end were 200 Shandong Cats, with 200 drivers sitting on them, ready to provide support at any time.
On the Shandong Cat, all types of weapons have been installed, including machine guns and mortars.
The soldiers were wearing full individual equipment and holding Type 191 rifles, and were armed to the teeth.
Although the exercises all use air-burst bombs, which are bullets without warheads, they will leave paint when they hit the target, and it can be judged as death by gunfire.
So everyone still tends to practice.
Lin Sanqi did not set up an exercise command center. The mountain was bare and the command center could be seen at a glance. Wouldn't it be a target for enemy artillery?
So once the "war" broke out, Lin Sanqi would sit on the Shandong cat with the remote control and be able to move at any time.
He can give orders to each soldier through the individual radio to avoid any command problems.
As for the Shandong cats, they all hid behind the mountain and could not be discovered by the opposing blue army. They would only rush out when Lin Sanqi gave the order.
Just as Lin Sanqi was getting ready, the Blue Army on Hill B was also getting ready.
The commander of the Blue Army is Captain Fang Qianjin, who is currently boosting morale:
"Comrades, the Snowy Plateau is our home turf, and the Yunnan Army is now playing away. These people only know how to play the Water Splashing Festival. How could they have experienced a snowy mountain battle? They will definitely suffer a great loss today.
Furthermore, the Yunnan Army, led by Comrade Lin Sanqi, looks down on our Snow Region Army. They only have a thousand men, and they claim they can easily defeat our two thousand. Tell me, can we tolerate this?"
"No! No! No!"
"Yes, we can't tolerate this. Normally we are brothers, but during the exercise we are enemies. We must all charge forward, fearless of sacrifice, and determined to wipe out the Yunnan soldiers on the snowy plateau.
In addition, there is no tactical arrangement when fighting on such a snowy mountain, because we cannot use large-scale infantry battles.
What? Cannons bombard, cannons bombard, after the cannons bombard, infantry charge. Infantry charge, infantry charge, after the infantry charge, cannons bombard again.
Because both sides have artillery, it is difficult to hide large troops and artillery positions on this mountain, so my combat method is very simple, which is to adopt the Kongkazan combat method.
They advanced in mobile units, each consisting of a platoon of 30 men. At the same time, they also used battalions as units to conduct guerrilla warfare in roughly designated areas.
As for how to take on the responsibility, we have made arrangements at the combat cadres meeting, and everyone must follow orders in all actions.
We are all seasoned veterans, so I won't say anything extra. Everyone should display the spirit of our Snow Region Army. After the exercise is successfully concluded, everyone will have an extra meal tonight!"
“Okay~~~”
Leader Jing watched from afar and said to Xu Tianxing with a smile:
"Old Xu, your Snow Region Army is full of energy and confidence. Look at the Red Army, they're still chatting and laughing leisurely, it doesn't look like they're going to fight at all."
Xu Tianxing raised his chin, looked at Cao Zhiyang and said:
"Old Cao, the soldiers you lead aren't very good. Let's not talk about their combat effectiveness, just look at their undisciplined style. This isn't the style of our people's soldiers. Instead, they resemble the style of the women's army before liberation."
Hahahaha~~~
Everyone in the command center burst into laughter. They had all experienced what the female army was like back then and knew it best.
Cao Zhiyang wasn't annoyed. He had seen drones in combat before, so he felt as relaxed as the soldiers on the exercise.
"Old Xu, don't brag. Our Yunnan Army is confident of victory. Believe it or not, Comrade Lin Sanqi is definitely talking to the soldiers about showing them a few movies after the successful exercise."
A military district boss nearby joked:
“Hey, Lao Cao, when did you become so wrinkled that you can use idioms and say you are sure of victory?
I've heard that Comrade Lin Sanqi is a civilian cadre who has never been on the battlefield, let alone commanded a battle. If you let him command, you're guaranteed to lose."
Another big boss also joked:
"That's right. If you ask Comrade Lin Sanqi to treat you, he might be an expert, but if you ask him to fight, I'm afraid he'll be the first to piss himself when the cannon goes off."
Hahahaha~~~
Cao Zhiyang also laughed along with everyone else, without feeling unhappy at all:
"Hey, I'll show you what it's like when an amateur defeats an expert. I'm afraid that if Old Xu loses, he'd rather jump into the lake and drown. He'd be too embarrassed to face anyone!"
Lin Sanqi was indeed very relaxed. He felt like he was playing a real-life CS game.
He was not a serious person, so at this time he was still using his personal radio to speak to all the soldiers on the scene:
"Every soldier has chocolate in his pocket. It's foreign. Don't be afraid of the bitterness. Eating it can replenish calories and warm you up. There are also cigarettes in the bag, but we don't smoke them because they make us easy targets."
Hehehe~~~
All the soldiers chuckled. After three days of drills, they had witnessed the power of the new weapons and everyone was full of confidence.
"Okay, the exercise will begin soon, and the drone will go first.
In principle, if a small group of enemy forces is discovered, the drone will directly destroy them;
If a large number of enemy forces are discovered, report the coordinates and the artillery will directly cover them with fire.
After the main force was eliminated, all the Shandong cats set out, and like a cat catching a mouse, under the guidance of the drone, they found all the hidden blue troops one by one.
Remember, take no prisoners, because prisoners will slow down the process, and we want a quick victory.
The same applies to the battlefield in the future. Don’t give the enemy a chance to surrender, and eliminate the enemy as quickly as possible.
We have to kill so many people that their heads keep rolling and their legs tremble when they see us. Only then can we make the enemy truly afraid and prevent them from crossing the border again.
Do you understand?"
A thousand people shouted in unison: "Understood~~~"
The command center also heard the roar. Leader Jing smiled and said, "Oh, it seems the Red Army is ready too. Can we start the exercise? Check with the radio."
The command center staff confirmed via radio:
"Is the Red Team ready?"
"Report, ready."
"Is the Blue Team ready?"
"Report, the Blue Army has assembled."
Leader Jing took the microphone and said, "Okay, now, in the name of the exercise commander-in-chief, I declare the Bandir Lake exercise to begin!" (End of this chapter)
